Fertile Soul
A RITE OF PASSAGE
THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD
WEAVING MYTH AND MEDICINE
March 11 - June 24 2026
Calling...
Womxn leaders who understand that deep soul work ripples outward.
Courageous womxn ready to evoke the next threshold in their soul's majestic unfurling.
Those who can hold the vertical axis, their own deep anchor, even when the horizontal world spins into mystery.
The Time Has Come...
It's time to get real about what we're creating : together.
Because humanity needs creative insight and solutions that will come through womxn willing to do this work
We need womxn who can hold steady to their essence even in chaos, who can be conduits for the full human experience, who can feel it all and still roar with devotion to this life.
The work is personal.
The harvest is collective.
The transformation is cultural.
The darkness is a wild and fertile teacher.
Not a guide you can hold onto, not a comforting light,but a primordial field where new ways of sensing awaken.
Our journey draws inspiration from the myth of Inanna and her descent into the underworld, a passage that teaches us how consciousness ripens in the dark and that what returns from the underworld carries a deeper coherence, a deeper truth.

The Living Prayer
The collective is yearning for rebalancing; a remembrance that darkness is not the opposite of light, but its necessary companion,
Inviting you to descend
To offer something up.
Allow old identities, protections, or stories to loosen their grip.
Return changed. Return with something to offer; a steadiness born from what has been touched below the surface.
May we become ones who can hold the dark as skillfully as the light,
and who carry the wisdom of the underworld back into the world that so desperately needs it.
